The legendary warrior

When they were laughing at Ricky, Ashley explained to Ricky through their telepathic link. "Let me introduce him to you. This young man is Doug Chen. He is the fourth competitor for the position of the holy son.

"Oh, I see. Then, what about the three other powerful candidates? Where are they? Wouldn't they come?" Ricky was a bit disappointed. The young man in front of him was not a prime candidate, and he seemed a bit lackluster compared to the three other competitive candidates.

"If you defeat him, they will show up," Ashley replied.

"Is that so?" Ricky asked, his voice faint. "I don't think they know that I killed Lundy."

"Perhaps they do. However, I don't think it matters to them. Lundy's fame did not reach here. So they have no idea what it means that you killed him," Ashley said. "And, I'm really curious, what makes you think that you can defeat Doug?"

After a few moments of silence, Ricky turned to look at Doug.

"You must be joking," he responded to Doug's teasing words. Even though they made fun of him, he wasn't upset.

Doug walked up to Ricky. He nodded to Ashley as a greeting. "If you want me to believe that you are not coming here to seek refuge, then show me what you've got," Doug said with a dismissive sneer.

"What do you want me to do to prove my strength?" Ricky asked.

Sometimes, a show of power was enough to get him what he needed. He didn't want to back down from Doug's challenge.

"It's very simple. Withstand three blows from me, and I will believe you," Doug replied. He wore a defiant sneer on his face. It was clear that he did not believe Ricky was strong at all.

Ricky was a two-star lower spiritual emperor at his peak state, while Doug was a three-star lower spiritual emperor. Doug believed that his capability in combat was at the average level among those at his realm. He didn't think Ricky could stand a chance.

'Doug is a three-star lower spiritual emperor. Once he performs his Omnipotent Skills, his strength could reach the average level among warriors at his level. Although Ricky is strong, he is no match against Doug,' Ashley thought to herself.

"Oh?

Really? Are you serious that you would consider me to be powerful enough if I withstand three blows from you?" Ricky asked, his voice serious.

"We've got so many witnesses here. Why do you think this is a trick?" Doug replied. "However, if you fail my challenge, you would have to break off your engagement with Ashley.
